Palm Beach Central was not the first on the board on Friday, but they got there more often. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-2 victory over the Wellington Wolverines. For the Broncos, this counts as revenge for the 5-1 win the Wolverines walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.

The team relied heavily on Gabrian Diaz, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.

Palm Beach Central is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Wellington and nudges their season record down to 11-5.

Palm Beach Central and Wellington should be looking forward to their upcoming games as both have a sizable advantage in the MaxPreps Florida Rankings. Palm Beach Central will square off against Palm Beach Gardens at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday up 317 places (130 vs. 447). Palm Beach Central's pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so Wellington's hitters will have their work cut out for them. Similarly, Wellington (ranked 80th) will meet Dr. Joaquin Garcia (ranked 224th) at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
